I loved that show.

with combat jumping and weave along with the rest of the shield defense power. Normal slotting and no IO sets you have around 30% defense to all positional defenses.

Maybe scale the aggro cap to go up with more people in a party. 17 -20 - 23 - 26 - 29 - 32 - 35 - 38. Multiple tanks would be able to handle aggro for any situation while still not being able to herd hundreds of enemies unless the party was mostly tanks.

I have a Shield/SS tank and I have no problems holding aggro, foot stomp and shield charge seem to do the job. And if that truly isn't enough, Taunt works pretty darn well too.

I think Smurphy hit the nail on the head.

I've seen this happen to both my foot stomp and my shield charge, both in and outside of AE. It usually happens when there is some lag going on. I'll see the enemies get knocked down but it won't display any damage. I just assumed it was from lag myself. I've seen it happen with Knockout Blow too.

He did tell you in the beginning that all he wanted to do was tank Rom, so I'm not shocked you got booted. BUT the guy still has issues and could have reminded you that he wanted to try his luck first. The thing is he didn't just ruin the evening for you but the other team members that then couldn't complete the TF.

My experience with pick up groups:
My main is a tank and my #1 alt is a scrapper. I've let people tank for groups when i'm on my tank, if they want to but I usually have to step in and prevent a team wipe when things get crazy. On my scrapper i usually let the tanks lead into the fray but more times than I like to remember I see the tank go down and have to take over tanking/holding aggro for the team.

I've also seen good tanks and scrapper know their roles and compliment team instead of having to do things their way. The thing to remember is Tankers are built to draw and maintain aggro while scrapper are built to kill and not be killed. Sure you can IO a scrapper out and get all the spiffy taunts and tank a bit but gauntlet really makes things easy when trying to hold the attention on yourself and not that blaster that does ungodly amounts of damage. I alway end up going back to my tank if i'm teaming because things always seem to go smoother with a competent tank than one that can't take more than 3 enemies hitting them at the same time and face plants.

Ok i got on a rant there. Morale of the story, if you are a scrapper and can tank better than most tanks go roll a tank and help the community out and show the nooblet tanks how it is done
